The University of Texas community is doing their part to spread positivity.
In light of the uncertainty and fear surrounding the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the NCAA started the social media initiative #UnitedAsOne.
Assistant director of Texas athletics social and digital strategy, Marc Jordan, led the charge. He vocalized the importance of spreading hope during these trying times for athletes, students, and recruits.
“I suggested our combined messaging should be that of unity around sport as a whole. We think our combined audiences need hope that there are brighter days ahead of us. If we can inspire people collectively through collaboration, let’s do it. I wanted the access to be available across all divisions of college athletics so we could engage and unite as many people as possible under the NCAA umbrella.”
More than ever before, the Longhorns are united as one.
President Gregory Fenves joined head coaches Tom Herman, Mike White, and David Pierce as they each shared a special message on social media to express their views on both the present and future.
